This post is becoming tribalistic, but one has to say tns are nt as dey seem in nigeria politics.there is a posiblity he was sacked but pretended its a risgn to save face nd save d whole phcn acquisition from international criticism. Or shld we start believing dt barth nnaji is so honourable dt he had to resign cos of conflict of interest wen we knw in Nigeria there is nuffin like conflict of interests wenit comes to money nd contracts award. If Nnaji was honourable he would ve squashed his companies bid to let others contest. |

People should read updates on the Afam Generation station issue on the front page of todays edition of Business Day. If it is true as stated that the Deputy Chief of Staff in the VPs office,MAK Abubakar, is now in charge of the bidding process with the BPE totally sidelined, then we can only expect things to get messier. I read the hard copy. Someone should kindly upload from their website for others to read. |

The stakes for the privatisation of Afam Generating Company rose yesterday, when it emerged that the Bureau of Public Enterprises (BPE) had been relegated in the fresh attempt to evaluate bids for the plant, in the wake of the cancellation of an earlier evaluation because of links of former power minister, Bart Nnaji to one of the companies angling to acquire the plant. BusinessDay had exclusively reported yesterday, that MAK Abubakar, the deputy chief of staff to the Vice President, was seeking to corner the privatisation process, using the fiasco of the departure of Nnaji, as subterfuge. In a two-page letter dated August 28, but received yesterday at the BPE, the deputy chief of staff side-tracked the BPE and has taken upon himself, the role of nominating and selecting members of the team which will handle the evaluation of bids by the three firms which met the bid deadline for Afam GenCo. In his letter to the BPE director-general Bolanle Onagoruwa, Abubakar conveyed an instruction appointing a 15 member evaluation team. Against laid down procedure, the deputy chief of staff said the team would be headed by one Yusuf Fwankat, an engineer, of the Ministry of Power, and not an official of the BPE. According to BusinessDay investigations, others named to the new evaluation team are Haliru Dikko, from the National Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) Benson Ajisegiri of the Ministry of Water Resources and Anas Abba Kyari from PHCN. Curiously, the deputy chief of staff relegated the only three independent international evaluators available to BPE, one from Nextant and two from NIAF, to the redundant role of observers. The international groups, Nexant and NIAF are funded by both the UK government DfID and the US embassy in Nigeria, as part of the collaboration with the Nigerian government to guarantee the integrity of the privatisation process. Nexant is a provider of intelligent grid software and clean energy solutions—pioneering, developing, and advancing electric power grid and alternative energy technologies and services, while NIAF is the Nigerian Infrastructure Advisory Facility . The only foreign member that will participate in the fresh evaluation is the representative of CPCS, the government hired consultant and transaction adviser, who can buckle under pressure, given that his bills have to be paid by authority of the office of the Vice President. BusinessDay learnt that earlier, the director-general of the BPE had written to the Vice President, recommending that the re-composed evaluation team should include officers from both Nexant and NIAF as full evaluators. This key recommendation was overturned by the deputy chief of staff, and it is unclear if he had the mandate of the Vice President to make such sweeping changes, in total disregard of existing protocol, especially because the BPE boss had cleared her recommendation with Atedo Peterside, chairman of the Technical Committee on Privatisation and member of the NCP. According to one government source, “there has never been a time that the vice president’s office became involved in the mundane task of nominating or picking members of the evaluation teams for assets being privatised by the state, and this action calls to question the real intentions which without doubt will come to light in the passage of time.” Chukwuma Nwoko , spokesman of the BPE told BusinessDay that he has no idea about the development,saying “I have no idea.” Several attempts made by BusinessDay to get someone to speak from the Vice President’s office were futile. Mallam Umar Sani, SA Media , to the Vice President, first did not take his calls and then later had his phone switched off. check:http://www.businessdayonline.com/NG/index.php/news/76-hot-topic/43632-privatisation-of-afam-hijacked-from-bpe |

Please kindly tell me why your anger is not directed to the some stakeholders in the Southeast, who foresaw the likelihood of Nnaji coming from the backdoor to emerge as the sole supplier and distributor of power to the region in future, and thus submitted evidence agaist Nnaji, to the authorities. Truth be told, our own brothers from the East did Nnaji in. |

Dullards, all we should care about is whether there is light or not!!! I am yet to see any; who committed shameful offence, resigned or sacked, and still have the audacity to speak in public, defending him/herself without remourse(Eteh, Alamesiagha, Bankole, etc) . If the company controlled by barth nnaji is up to task why should it be ignored? Or do you prefere quack companies that is not Nnaji's to capable one belonging to Nnaji? Your rights, addled Nigerians, is wasting away! |

Barth is nothing but a bloody thief who should be tied to a big stone and throw into Atlantic ocean. Why is he claiming success of power improvement? When was he appointed? The improvement in power that's now visible would show even if GEJ had appointed a clueless nonentity in the sector. It's still part of Obasanjo's investment in power. Power is not something you just improve in six months or 9months. Can anyone detail his policy so far apart from his scheming to privatize and sell the companies to himself? OBJ sunk billions of dollars in the sector (almost half of the total amount stolen, agreed). Instead of Yar'Adua to forge ahead with the execution of the projects, he chose to investigate the whole transactions and that stalled power generation throughout his go slow administration. On assumption of power, GEJ decided to allow those projects come to fruition and that's what we are witnessing today. It has nothing to do with Barth's policy or input. Power project is unique and different from others in the sense that if it's not 100 percent completed, the effect can not be felt. If a power turbine is not 100% ready, it can not be connected to the national grid. He wanted to sell to himself the major power plant in the country. He wanted to be a judge in his own case. Blind trust my foot! The entire hiring procedure in GEJ's administration is damn too corrupt. Subsidy funds, Dame the Perm Sec, Malabu Oil Saga, Pension Looting Scheme, Oteh Expensive Hotels Bills, Thieving Attack Dog (Okupe), Sting and Counter Sting operations and the characteristic I don't give a damn president. 1 Like |

FACT - Nnaji had major pedigree in the power sector both locally and internationally FACT - He's shown extreme commitment and a splendid sense of purpose in revamping the sector and pushing forward the privatization process despite the antics of people like Ajaero and FACT - the rules of the privatization engagement says people with conflict of interest should not take any beneficial advantage FACT - Nnaji's company against the rules rules of engagement started participating in a process in which he had 'insider information' as well as being one of the final decision makers FACT - Nnaji was therefore seating in on a meeting where his company's fate would be decided ; a prime example of being a judge in one's own cause RUMOUR - He should have made the disclosure way before the particular meeting at which he was walked out and not even attempted to attend that particular meeting at all based on that disclosure. RUMOUR - His attempt to claim that he had made this disclosure properly prior to the meeting in question was put to the lie Otedola/Farouk's style. RUMOUR - He was allowed to resign instead of being sacked. MY OWN CONCLUSION: Nnaji should not - change that to NEVER - have allowed his direct company to participate in the process. It is just sheer impunity and arrogance. What happened to making back deals (if need be) with company you are not related to in any way on certain understandings after you leave office. He deserves a flogging for even being as arrogant as to think he can pull off such a flagrant violation of the rules of engagement. |

but please my good people of naija and nairaland, please can someone tell what's wrong with prof. Barth being the sole distributors of power in the southeast region? Have this man's ability and resources not been vetted? As a minister and a proficient electrical power guru, he has been proven efficient. Remember that out of 27 companies that bidded(mostly foreign), his 2 companies passed into the best 7. I just can't find a problem with he being the sole distributor. 1 Like |

I believe GEJ did not do enough to protect Nnaji.We can all argue that Nnaji erred according to the constitution but it was inevitable such was going to happen ever since Nnaji was nominated as Minister of Power since he has a viable company operating in the power sector(Geometrics) and there was no way the company wont be interested in the privitization exercise irrespective of if Nnaji is part of this govt or not,GEJ ought to have given him a political cover if he(GEJ) strongly believes that Nnaji was the man for the job.You can lead a man on and middle way you then backtrack 1 Like |

As usual, the OJUJU Calabars will take the blame again. First we were told the man resigned and he did so because He did not want to ruin his reputation due to some conflict of interest. Now we have this story telling us that some UNNAMED entities are to blame for why the man, who supposedly resigned, was sacked? |

Dede1: "The executive functions of the Nigerian vice president includes participation in all cabinet meetings and, by statute, membership in the National Security Council, the National Defence Council, Federal Executive Council, and the Chairman of National Economic Council. Although the vice president may take an active role in establishing policy in the Executive Branch by serving on such committees and councils, the relative power of the Nigerian vice president's office depends upon the duties delegated by the president."

Even section 3 stated the Council, not the VP or Chairman, may co-opt the supervising Minister of an affected public enterprise to attend relevant meetings of the Council. Now the Minister is not even mandated to attend the meetings unless the council elects to invite. From your post, the VP does not even have power to invite a minister to a meeting. I know you are a blockhead but please try understand there is a standing protocol within the presidency. |
